Spud Buster


Slang name for the Advocate Newspaper [Queenstown]: Did you read that in the Spud Buster?

Contributor's comments: the newspaper (used in north west and western Tasmania)

Editor's comments: Is this term used for any newspaper in north-western and western Tasmania, or is it specifically reserved for the Advocate?

Contributor's comments: I used to work at the Tasmanian Tourist Bureau in Melbourne, and former NW coast residents would come in & make a beeline for the stack of old papers we had, saying: "I must catch up on what's in the Spud Buster!"
